That's a judgment call, depends on your nutrient export procedures. You could probably do it. Is your tank clean? How do you feel about it? One issue I'd have is it's better to get 3 Blue-Green Chromis than it is 2. One will be dominate and it will spread out the aggression.

You could probably pull it off. You said upgrade in two months. Why not wait two months? I hear so many bad stories of Chromis killing off the other ones, but I have three and have never had a problem with them. They school together and sometimes the Powder Blue will school with them for a minute or two.
